Read Kyle Snape's review of The Lego Movie...

SOME people may look at The Lego Movie and think it is nothing but a cash grab for the little kids.

I can assure you this film is much more than that. It's an extremely funny film, with memorable characters, bright and colourful animation, an enjoyable story and a surprisingly fair share of heart.

The story is about a construction worker named Emmet (Chris Pratt). He is just an ordinary guy living his normal life in the city of Bricks-burg.

When I say he's normal, I mean really normal! He has nothing to look forward to, has an incredibly bland personality, spends his free time watching a show called Where Are My Pants, which is literally the same joke every episode, and is always singing along to Everything Is Awesome.

One day on the job, he encounters a woman named Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), who is said to be a member of this league of master builders.

The leader Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) says there is a prophecy that states Emmet may be the most important person in the universe, capable of defeating the evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell).

Lord/President Business is the ruler of the Lego universe and also has the most powerful weapon in his possession, known as the Kragle (which in reality is just Krazy Glue, but with a few letters rubbed out).

He plans to use the Kragle to glue and literally freeze the Lego world in its entirety.

With Business's right hand man Bad Cop (Liam Neeson) on their tale, and a huge team of master builders on his side, Emmet must stop Lord Business.

The story may sound incredibly stupid. But considering this is a film to do with Lego, it sort of makes sense and really works.

Lego was meant to let your imagination run wild and that sums up the film – imaginative.

There is this place in the film called Cloud Cuckoo Land, which is basically a kid's dream come true, that has no government, no babysitters, no bedtimes, no frowny faces, no bushy moustaches and no negativity.

Not only does it appeal to the little kids, but it doesn't want to make older people want to die as there are some jokes anyone can get.

The animation is brilliant. The world is made out of Lego – from the characters, to the sets, to the effects. This makes you feel like you are in this whole new world and you can get invested in it.

I don't think I've seen animation this innovative since Toy Story. Yes, I just said that.

I love Liam Neeson in this film. Very similar to Gollum, he has this split personality that both reveals his good and bad side.
